Hey my name no longer has dash but a number 1 in front of it!?

Yeah. Narf. Didn’t it used to automatically do that?
|
Automatically preview? How? Like you mean, when you press the Post button
without Previewing first, it automatically previews? ;-)
I think possibly the Post button should maybe be removed or grayed out
at first (before you click Preview) to cut down on cowboy-posting. :-) But
it probably ought to be a per-user setting, because I can already hear people
complaining about it slowing them down. :-)
|
Uh, yeah! The uberposters would have to slow down to normal poster levels and
wouldn’t that be a drag. :)

I figured that out but thanks for the heads up anyway.

Perhaps it might be wise for me to remove the “-” (count-down list) paragraph
type altogether. It was only in there for symmetry with “+” (count-up list).
Who really uses that anyway?
Since the count-up list can take an optional index number, a count-down list
could still be written manually as:
+3 foo
+2 bar
+1 zot
which results in:
- foo
- bar
- zot

The more I think about
it, the more I think when used in moderation the new FTX tools will be
very useful. I guess my initial fear was that Lugnet would devolve into a 90
percent useless flotsam evironment, like the afore mentioned Transformers
newsgroup. I guess that fear is kind of silly given the watchful eye kept
over Lugent by its diligent creators. :-)

Ya, there’s not really much crazy stuff you can do with it -- you can’t do
blinking and color changes and big ugly background patches. Mainly it’s for
simple typography (italics, boldface, computer words) and pictures and
things.
| |
P.S. The color change for previous posts is absolutely brilliant.
|
Thanks.

I’ve got to congratulate you on the color subtleties as well. That’s probably
going to be the nicest feature as we continue to place a watchful eye on the
various newsgroups. Thanks for all the neat new features-I’ll be testing them
all out shortly.
